Hello, we've spent many hours reading thru builds & have lots of questions. My son purchased the '50 Chevy 3100 5 window last summer, it has 283 engine with 3 spd on the column from '65 C10 truck & rear end from '75 Camaro, this was installed by p.o. 10-12 yrs. ago, engine tired & smoking. The front cab corners are rusted thru, floorpan needs replacement, we haven't disassembled truck so don't know what else we'll find.

I want to order floorpan & cab corners, who are the recommended vendors that you are using?

Additionally, we have no bodywork experience, no welding experience, so is anyone on the forum from Raleigh area/east that we could contact to discuss replacing the metal components?

I'm shopping for a digital camera so we could post photos along with the build.

Thanks To Everyone
